TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when per- forming any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, then brake must be checked and adjusted. (See “TO ADJUST BRAKE” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

TIRES

•Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual).

•Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemicals which can harm rubber.

•Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp

objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure operator presence and interlock systems are working properly. If your trac- tor does not function as described, repair the problem immediately.

•The engine should not start unless the brake pedal is fully depressed and attachement clutch control is in the disengaged position.

•When the engine is running, any at- tempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake should shut off the engine.

•When the engine is running and the attachment clutch is engaged, any at- tempt by the operator to leave the seat should shut off the engine.

•The attachment clutch should never op- erate unless the operator is in the seat.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged blades.

BLADE REMOVAL

1.Raise mower to highest position to al- low access to blades.

2.Remove blade bolt, lock washer and flat washer securing blade.

3.Install new or resharpened blade with

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharp- ening blade - but if you do, be sure the blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and eventual damage to mower and engine.

•The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.

•To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone bal-

ancer. (When using a cone balancer, follow the instructions supplied with balancer.)

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.

•Slide blade on to an unthreaded portion of the steel bolt or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground. If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

BATTERY

Your tractor has a battery charging system which is sufficient for normal use. How- ever, periodic charging of the battery with an automotive charger will extend its life.

•Keep battery and terminals clean.

•Keep battery bolts tight.

•Keep small vent holes open.

•Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour. NOTE: The original equipment battery on your tractor is maintenance free. Do not attempt to open or remove caps or covers. Adding or checking level of electrolyte is not necessary.

TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and termi- nals can cause the battery to “leak” power. 1. Remove terminal guard.

192362 specifications

The Poulan 192362 is a versatile and durable outdoor power tool designed for homeowners and landscaping professionals alike. Known for its reliability and efficiency, this model stands out in the realm of chain saws, catering to a variety of cutting tasks, from trimming branches to felling trees.

One of the main features of the Poulan 192362 is its powerful engine, typically featuring a 42cc two-stroke engine that provides ample power for demanding jobs while ensuring the tool remains lightweight and manageable. This balance between power and weight makes it particularly appealing to users who require both performance and ease of use.

Equipped with a 16-inch bar and a low-profile chain, the Poulan 192362 facilitates smooth and efficient cutting. The length of the bar is ideal for handling a wide range of cutting applications, making it suitable for residential and light commercial use. The low-profile chain not only enhances cutting performance but also reduces kickback, improving safety during operation.

In terms of technology, the Poulan 192362 is designed with user comfort in mind. It features an ergonomic handle that provides a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. Additionally, the tool incorporates anti-vibration technology, which further enhances user comfort by minimizing the vibrations transferred from the engine to the user’s hands.

Another notable characteristic of the Poulan 192362 is its easy-start technology. This system allows for quick and easy starting, even in colder conditions, significantly reducing the hassle often associated with starting two-stroke engines. Moreover, the inclusion of an adjustable automatic chain oiler ensures that the chain remains lubricated during operation, thereby extending its life and ensuring optimal performance.

Maintenance and safety are priorities for this model, as evidenced by features like the inertia-activated chain brake, which halts the chain in the event of sudden movements. This safety measure protects the operator from potential accidents, making the Poulan 192362 a smart choice for users concerned about safety during cutting tasks.

Overall, the Poulan 192362 combines power, efficiency, and safety, making it a reliable tool for any outdoor cutting needs. Its blend of features and user-friendly technologies make it an excellent choice for those seeking a robust chain saw that meets both professional and residential demands.
